Elevating wellbeing for a thriving workplace

With the world of work constantly changing, the people profession must tackle ever increasing obstacles when it comes to encouraging workplace wellbeing. However, for organisations to create a positive work environment, it’s essential that wellbeing is promoted. Therefore, developing a wellbeing programme into the organisational strategy is essential for a happier and healthier workforce.

The CIPD Wellbeing at Work Conference 2025 showed delegates how to nurture their workplace wellbeing for a happier and healthier workforce.

"The speakers and workshop content were varied but all relevant to current wellbeing challenges. Potentially difficult topics were handled with care and compassion."

— Lucy Heffron

— Colleague Wellbeing Manager
"Amazing line up of speakers who covered some crunchy; topical & thought-provoking subjects. Loads of practical ideas & case studies to learn from. Always an honour to listen to Dame Carol Black, the GenZ/X insights from Tobba were super relevant & I've shared ideas with colleagues already."

— Anna-Marie Watson

— Wellbeing Consultant
"It was a well planned conference, a good pace. the sessions were varied and valuable with plenty of breaks for networking time and opportunity for discussion with other delegates. The food was good too!"

— Kerry Pocock

— Workforce Wellbeing Lead
"Good variety of topics, well-informed speakers"
